Special to the Globe.
BISMARCK, Oak. Jan. 26.-There was a
little breeze in the house to-day when Rep
resentatye Mentzer, of Mitchell, arose and
made motion to the effect that house bill
No. 81 be referred to a special committee
composed of Representatives Adams, Sui
liyan, Morris Ely and Moore House bill
No. 81 is a bill providing for the removal of
the United States court from YanktOn to
Mitchell, and the motion had the effect of
bringing E. p. Ward to his feet with pro-
test against the reference of the bill to
special committee. as he thought the
Judiciary committee would treat it fairly
and it should take the regular course.
Mr.. MentZer made an eloquent argument in
favor of the reference he had moved saving
that it was a very important question and
one that had brought him many lash and
had been the means of his being kept off
committees to which it was liable to be re-
ferred. and as he was sent here to introduce
and fight for the bill and had not been re-
turned the courtesy of being appointed on
committee to which it would probably be
referred, he was suspicious, and wanted the
bill to be considered by its friends in fair
and impartial manner and reported back to
the house. but he didn't want it throttled
=,
mittee he claimed TO have been impartial,
picking two from the North and three from
the South, and OF the latter one was a
Yankton man. He denied to have any
scheme or sharp play. He simply wanted
a fair consideration and impartial treatment
Mr.. MentZer was ably seconded by Nh
Sullivan, of PlankintOn. The demand
seems 10 be a very reasonable one, since
Mitchell has more central location and is
more convenient to members of the bar than
YanktOn, and it is said that this conven-
fence will soon be greatly improved by the
building of the Northwestern rod to Nit
chell. CT course the introduction of the
bill will create
FIGHT IN THE SOUTHERN RANKS,
for the people of anktOn will not give ND
the court unless they are obliged to, and
they are bitter towards Mr.. MentZer and
Sullivan, who. they claim, are disloyal to
South Dakota; bat this they DENY, and
they indeed seem to be fair in bringing this
matter before the legislature. There is a
reasonable prospect that the bill will pass
the lower house and Mentzer and Sullivan
are confident that it will 90 through the
council all right, notwithstanding some of
the members aver that it will die there
The fight Will probably come in earnest
when the special committee to whom it was
referred, according to Mr.. MentZer's mo-
ton. reports it back to the house II is
claimed to-day that, after much caucusing,
an agreement has been made whereby the
United States court VIII be left at Dead
wood, which seems 10 be highly
commendable conclusion. 1t is under
stood tonight that an arrangement has
been made whereby Yankton will let Sioux
Falls have the supreme court il Sioux Falls
Will assist her in keeping the United States
court. If this is done Mitchell will be
obliged to train her guns ceverly. H.F.
Greene. of Mandan. Democratic member,
introduced a bill this afternoon that will
undoubtedly
GRE ATE \ STIR
when it is placed on its second reading and
the members realize what its import is. 1t
is an act to amend section 1928 of the code
of civil procedure and repeal sections 324
and 325 Of the code of civil procedure and
the bill repeats the law granting a man
$500 exemption over and above household
goods, necesSarieS for years subsistence
and wardrObeS. The amendatory portion
OF the bill eXemptS printing press and
printers outfit to the amount of $500.
The bill, it is anticipated will be fought by
the farmers. 1t is said the first Of the kind
introduced to Dakota legislature
was sprung by Judge Moody. speaker
of the house in 1872, in 1CYankton,
and it is reported that the farmers held an
Indignation meeting and burnt him in effigy
il all the towns in that part of the country.
So great was the sentiment against it that
it failed to become a law. MI Greene saws
that it is mistaken idea that the farmers
are not in favor of the bill. for they are
anxious to have the law repealed alCng the
line of the Northern Pacific. and the lob
bers are specially in favor of its passage, as
it will protect them from imposters 1t is,
however, law that greatly benefits resi-
dents of this territory and many a man has
taken advantage of it. A. NJ. Cook, of
Minor. introduced bill providing for an
appropriation OF Sl2, coo for the building of
a soldiers home, and Mr.. Burnham wanted
an appropriation of $50. 900 for the estab-
lishment of a home for the relief of the
survivors of honorably discharged soldiers
and sailors of the war OF 1861. Mr. Fellows

but after lively discussion the matter was
laid on the table, and the docrkeeper
smiled serenely. A bill fixing the age of

the council Kahn introduced a bill pro-
yiding for an annual territorial fair and
stock show, at Huron. 1t is learned, on good
authority. that after much caucusing a
combination has been put up be-
tween the North Dakota and
Black Hills factions with the understanding
that the North gets liberal appropriations

in retaining her supreme court, and will
get a liberal appropriation for the school of

by the Black Hills faction to divide the
mineral and agricultural country into sep
arate counties, and it is said that Washa-
